Kurt Cobain’s credit card was put up for sale this week and it got me thinking about what we as humans leave behind to the people left without us.

Kurt Cobain is remembered for being the mouth piece of a grunge music counter culture revolution in the early 90’s and for being part of the 27 club.

But what would he be known for now if he had lived?

Jade Goodie was a reality tv show star who in life said many bad things whilst in the public eye and was at one point vilified for racist and close minded abuse toward Shilpa Shetty.

Yet when she died of cancer she was held up as an example of how to be strong for your family in the face of a deadly decease…

and Michael Jackson…. A polarising and very talented individual that had such a roller-coaster in the public eye. From sweet child, to world mega star influencing untold thousands of musical talents across the world…

But also had moments where he was driven into debt by allegations of child abuse that still stick in many fans heads to this day… while some see it as a witch hunt by the media to destroy a harmless childlike star who simply wanted to relive his childhood…

It is time and people that will write our eulogy and remember us when we leave this world, all we can do is try and give them enough good things to remember us by.

I personally….

I would love to have children and be remembered by being a good father. Give them a chance to be whatever they want.

But on a grander scale I would love to touch all my friends and family in a way that I would be hard to forget.

Is Prince Harry dating Emma Watson? Is Hermione FINALLY going to end up with Harry? Will their child be called the Half-Blood prince?

SO MANY QUESTIONS!

While most of us are still reeling from the news that Bobby killed Lucy Beale in EastEnders, there’s a new shock to stomach now reports are out that Prince Harry is apparently dating none other than newly single Emma Watson.

The pair are said to have really hit it off and have been hanging out. According to Australian site Woman’s Day, Harry masterminded a date with her but kept things casual by inviting mutual friends along too.

‘Harry didn’t want her to feel like she was put on the spot. A party also shows he’s fun and not stuffy. He’s smitten – and it’s more than Emma’s looks,’ a source told the site.

But never mind the details – now the gossip is out do you think this is the right Harry? Why not Harry Potter? Harry Styles? Or is Harry Windsor the perfect Hermione and Harry Fan Fiction?

he NHS and London Fire Brigade are bracing themselves for a slew of sex related injuries. Because Fifty Shades of Grey hits our cinemas – and our bedrooms – this weekend.

The London Fire Brigade (LFB) said today it was ‘concerned’ the film’s release could lead to a ‘spike’ in people being stuck or trapped in handcuffs or bindings.

Since April, it has attended 393 such incidents.

Meanwhile, sex toy injuries have doubled overall since 2007. And, according to recent figures, they saw a spike in 2012 and 2013 following the release of the Fifty Shades mummy porn trilogy.

These concerning stats, reported by the Washington Post, come courtesy of the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System, which has tracked casualty admissions since 1991.

Injuries relating to ‘massage devices and vibrators’ rocketed in 2012, when 2,500 people checked in at the ER. The first Fifty Shades of Grey book was released in 2011. There is no proof the two are linked, but, well, it’s safe to assume they could be.

Thankfully, most injuries incurred were not too severe.

71 per cent of patients were treated and released, with only 25 per cent requiring hospitalization. And the good news was that none of the cases required assistance from the fire department, and zero deaths were recorded.

Phew.

However, with reports that sex shops on both sides of the Atlantic are already stocking up on their sex toys ahead of the film’s release this weekend – while B&Q is warning staff to expect a run on DIY S&M items – there could be trouble ahead for an already stretched NHS.

A teenage boy in America was hospitalised after a friend accidentally shot him in the penis.

In a frantic 911 call, the unnamed 15-year-old, from Collier County, Florida, can be heard telling police how he received injuries to his arm and penis after the weapon accidentally discharged.

Police have said that while the teen initially refused to cooperate with their investigation, he eventually admitted that his friend had accidentally fired the weapon, but told him to leave so he would not get in trouble.

Gwyneth Paltrow Steams Her Vagina || V-Steam Vagina Health Treatment – Gwyneth steaming her vagina is the best thing she’s done in years

“Hey, did you see what Gwyneth Paltrow said about vaginas?” a friend emailed the other day. Now, I tend to get a lot of email about Gwyneth Paltrow, mostly thanks to an open letter I wrote a year ago that has people convinced I need to be informed of her every move. Most of the time, my reaction is a resounding “Meh.”

But this? This, I had to see.

And I was not disappointed when I clicked the link he had sent me.

In fact, I was the opposite of disappointed. In a month of depressing news, bleak, serious events and nonstarter blizzards, Paltrow’s recent endorsement of the Mugwort V-Steam is a small bright spot of pure, genius comedy.

What’s that, you say? A Mugwort V-Steam?

It’s a Harry Potter-sounding spa treatment that is, in her own words, “a mini-throne, and a combination of infrared and mugwort steam cleanses your uterus, et al. It is an energetic release — not just a steam douche — that balances female hormone levels.”

I’m going to give you a minute to read that again: Mini-throne, uterus, steam douche. (Not included: the actual word vagina. But this is what we are talking about here.)

“If you’re in LA,” she adds, “you have to do it.”

I don’t live in LA, so I won’t be partaking of this amazing, terrifying-sounding treatment. Also, from what I’ve read, the health benefits of this are dubious at best.

“Does Paltrow think her fallopian tubes are getting tidied up in the process, too? It does not,” wrote exasperated pediatrician Russell Saunders in a Daily Beast column.

“The female reproductive tract does not need to be cleaned at all. In fact, methods of feminine cleansing like douching can do more harm than good. Women should no more steam their vaginas than flush them with Lysol.”

Granted, the V-Steam is not something Paltrow made up out of thin, steam-filled air — it’s actually a centuries-old practice in Korea called chai-yok, and its practitioners believe it can reduce stress, regulate menstrual cycles and get rid of hemorrhoids.

Still, I’m going to side with the person who actually went to medical school.

But science aside, I am starting to really enjoy Gwynnie. She’s gotten so eccentric, unaware and zanily over-the-top, that she is now on the level of Joaquin Phoenix-style performance art, with an added level of hilarious 2015 Marie Antoinette “Let them eat kale” thrown in for good measure.

She shows up in nude jumpsuits on “The Tonight Show,” performs Broadway-style raps of “Anaconda” and doles out nutty health advice.

She’s gotten people revved up enough times to know the drill: If you want people to stop, you just have to stop making grand pronouncements. Normal celebrities would have retired into a cave for a year and joined five charities in the hopes of getting better publicity, eschewing all interviews save for a quick Q&A to promote their newest movie or their latest line at Target or their most recent episode of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.”

If being honest and open about who you are is a hallmark of happiness, well, then, Gwyneth Paltrow is probably one of the happiest people on the planet. She just does not care — and I like that.

She is weird enough to be one of my friends, any of our friends, really — a quirky, lively, truly bizarre mind in the body of the Prettiest Girl from High School. So with that, I say bravo, Gwyneth. Carry on with your steamed lady parts.

The new regulations have been criticized by rights activists, who see them as unconstitutional and likely to exacerbate an already hostile climate for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community in Russia.

“The new Russian rules banning people from driving because of their gender identity are ridiculous and unlawful,” Nils Muiznieks, human rights commissioner for the Council of Europe, said in a message posted Friday on Facebook. He urged Russia “to immediately amend the rules to remove this ban.”

The government resolution, dated Dec. 29 and signed by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, lists numerous medical conditions, including “mental and behavioural disorders” defined by the World Health Organization, that the government believes disqualify a person for a driving license.

The resolution does not claim WHO endorsement for the new driving restrictions.

“That is certainly not the intent of WHO’s classifications,” said Shekhar Saxena, director of WHO’s mental health department. He said they were meant to lead to more reliable diagnosis, so “for example, when someone is diagnosed with a disease in Germany, they would get the same diagnosis in France.”

The WHO classification contains “gender identity disorders” such as transsexualism and “disorders of sexual preference,” including fetishism and voyeurism. The organization, which has been under pressure for years to stop considering transgender people as mentally ill, is currently revising its International Classification of Diseases, which came into use in 1994. The revised version is due in 2017, according to the WHO website.

Saxena said there are working groups considering whether gender identity should be deleted from the mental disorders chapter.

Human Rights First activist Shawn Gaylord said in a statement that the rule change “leaves the door open for increased harassment, persecution and discrimination of transgender people by Russian authorities.” He also said it could deter transgender people from seeking mental health services for fear of receiving a diagnosis that would strip them of their right to drive.

If the regulations do deter people from seeking medical help, this would have implications beyond the transgender community. Those barred from driving also include people who suffer from mood disorders, anxiety, depression, dementia and schizophrenia. Based on the WHO classifications referred to in the regulations, drug addicts and pathological gamblers also could be kept from getting behind the wheel.

Woman gets PENIS tattooed on her shoulder – The Girl With The Dick Tattoo || Bodyshockers

Holly Aston was horrified when she woke up after a drunken party to find her friends had inked her with a DIY tattoo gun

She is the woman with Britain’s most embarrassing tattoo.

Holly Aston awoke after a drunken party to discover a man’s WILLY on her shoulder.

And it has ruined the teenage Birmingham student’s life.

Holly, who lives in Druids Heath, HID the tattoo from her parents for two years.

But eventually the awful truth came out.

She was just 17 when she allowed drunken friends to draw a penis on her shoulder with a DIY tattoo gun she’d bought on the internet.

Holly woke up next day horrified by the graphic image permanently inked on her body.

She even turned down a holiday in Lanzarote because she feared the tattoo would be revealed.

Holly, a self-confessed former ‘wild child’ says she has now grown up and wants to move on with her life.

“I had my first tattoo done by a qualified bloke who had turned part of his house into a studio,” she told the Birmingham Mail.

“I had a large picture done on my forearm of a comic book woman. It’s supposed to be Storm from the X Men, although I just chose it out of a book because I thought it was cool. My family hated it but I still went on to get more.

“It was so easy to buy a tattoo gun off the internet for about £50. You get the full kit of needles and ink and it’s easy to operate, though they give you no instructions about keeping it sterile. We were very lucky not to get an infection or blood poisoning.

“I had tattoo parties with my mates. We’d have some drinks and tattoo each other – it was stupid.”

It was during one of those parties that things got out of hand.

“I let my mates draw whatever they wanted,” sighs Holly. “I have the word ‘Dyke’ on my ankle, and then one drew the penis on my shoulder.

“I knew what they were doing and didn’t mind at the time. It was just a joke and I thought it was funny.

“But then I woke up the next day, looked at it and thought ‘Oh God, what have I done?’.

“The joke was over and it really wasn’t funny anymore.

“I had to keep it covered up in the summer; if I went swimming I tried to cover it with plasters because I didn’t want children seeing it.

“I turned down family holidays because I was hiding it from my mum and dad. I thought they’d kill me.

“I want to go to university this year and to be taken seriously without this silly tattoo, but I can’t afford the thousands of pounds it would cost to remove it.”

Holly has a diploma in animal management and wants to study animal behaviour and welfare, with the aim of working with endangered species.
